Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The most frustrating aspect of this game is that i could have been a good game: - Interesting gun mechanics - Story that starts off strong - Detective Noir is always a winner However the aspect of the game is also what lets it down: - Reloading and ammo swapping is needlessly tedious - Story gets way to convoluted to follow and there is no task list - I don't know how you're meant to resolve the case in 15 different ways. I struggled with 1. - The game incessantly needs to point out that the main character is a girl, as if the player would forget. You may as well be a genderless block for all the story needs the main character in it. The most severe criticism and the main reason for the negative score is the maze-like navigation and platforming. With no map. The camera changes angles on certain screens so you keep not knowing which way you're facing. You need to travel to same same location multiple times, but the game doesn't give you convenient shortcuts after you traverse a perilous section. Nope just do it again and die repeatedly and lose a heap of progress because the checkpoints are few and far between. What should have been a funny and whimsical detective adventure game, is more correctly a frustrating puzzle platformer with wonky mechanics and no idea which way you should face.

Comprei numa promoção e me surpreendi. Diálogos inteligentes e engraçados, o jogo tem sutil, quase inotável representatividade LGBTQ+ (muita naturalidade) e uma crítica social leve e divertida. Apesar de ser um jogo de plataformas, e de alguns desafios serem realmente bem complicados de resolver, vale a pena. Só é triste que o jogo não tenha mais tempo de duração. Algumas coisas poderiam ser consertadas no que se refere às dinâmicas mas a história é muito boa.

As has been said by many others, I really like the idea of this game, mixing a Metroidvania with a detective game. However, all of the metroidvania mechanics are pretty terrible, and not integrated well with the detective elements at all. There's no map which is horribly frustrating when combined with labyrinthine level design and pseudo 3D navigation that just makes it confusing to try and get anywhere specific even in areas with landmarks. The weapon reload would be good for a menu UI, but having to constantly do it is just unbearably annoying. And honestly, I find it difficult to focus on the story because of how long the breaks from it can be with all the traversal. It doesn't have the immediacy of an adventure game. I've thought about going back to this game several times after my initial two hours with it, but every time I just get this daunting feeling of having to contend with the game's misguided mechanics and bugs in some cases. To me, that's the mark of a game that's just not worth playing again. I'd love to see another crack at this, but in this particular case I can't recommend playing or buying this.
I'd recommend this game if even half of what you did made sense, or there was more descriptions to what's going on except 'speech bubbles' for everything. I've played it before and gotten further yet it's been long enough that I can't even get past the first 'mission' location you visit after getting the phone call. How is it a game that's been out almost 10 years not have any kind of walkthrough except videos of someone else playing?
This game has an absolutely enjoyable atmosphere, hilarious characters, and a beautiful commitment to the bit. I'll be honest, I've had this one on my list for a long time and have been putting it off- but I got absolutely bored the other day and decided to give it a shot. I regret not doing that sooner. Some of the reviews on here talk about a convoluted map and I'll be honest and say that it is at first- but after playing a while you learn the area pretty well and now I can navigate the game like the back of my hand. There are so many little hidden details and hilarious dialogue that make the whole thing 10 times more fun. If you are looking for a perfect game or true dark gritty noir you might be a bit disappointed but if you enjoy the humor of the title and like the trailers I would say to give it a shot. Tl;dr, I'm glad I played this game, it's hilarious and so intricate and while it has a bit of a learning curve with the map it's definitely worth it!
不明所以~
I was surprised I liked it more than I thought I would.
The aesthetics and the writing are charming, but the puzzles, objectives and investigation mechanics are shoddy and mostly unenjoyable.
best simon too :)
